A muscle cramp that typically affects the calf muscle, due to sore, tired muscles and a lack of hydration. One of the most ridiculously, painful fucking things that could happen to someone.
He woke up out of a dead sleep with the feeling that the devil himself was wringing his calf muscle dry like a wet rag while nothing he did could stop the ever-increasing pain and misery of this monstrosity called a charlie horse.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.

Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

Usually due to a lack of potassium, it's when your leg tightens up, causing an extremely painful sensation. Immediatley after it's over, your leg feels really good, though.
